Kde-pim/pi 2.1.0 Available!, New stable version Options

[zautrix]

Just wondered if any major changes were/are planned for the next release. It has been almost a month since the last release and they normally come faster than that? Or it could be that people are busy with there real jobs.    Thanks

Yes, I am currently very busy.

I am working on making it possible to sync in pi-sync mode specific resources.
It looks quite well in KO/Pi but it needs more testing.


And I tried to find a solution for Kx/Pi syncing with Outlook.
It seems so that there are all problems resolved with the KA/Pi Outlook syncing.
But it still needs to be implemented...


I will make some testing versions available next weekend (probably).

But do not expect a stable version before Christmas.

With, or without the alarm applet installed...if I create an appointment/to do with an alarm set and then go to check the entry, it's flagged with the alarm correctly. EX. "30 Minutes Before". However, if I exit the program (with saving first), and go back into KO/PI, and check the entry the alarm says "!30(Disabled) Minutes Before". The alarms will not work at this point. I've tested everything! If I create the apts. in KO/PI on the Zaurus without exiting, it's OK. But if I sync from my Windows machine, which I usually do because of convenience, it comes across with the "(disabled)" stuff. This is happening in EVERY VERSION, with/without the alarm applet installed. Has anyone seen this and does anyone know the solution?

"!30(Disabled) Minutes" does mean that the alarm is disabled in the resource settings.

There may be a bug with that "disable alarm" resource settings.

I will look at this.

Hmmm. I do have the pim apps running from flash, but I also have them configured to save to my CF card. And unless I'm mistaken, the automatic backups are saving the data to the std.vcf file. Where that file is should not be an issue, or so I would assume. But then, what I know about these Apps and what I assume may just be at opposite ends of reality.

The advantage of setting auto backups on your CF card is that you have 2 places to wipe before you start losing data.

Sorry, didn't know it was a breach of web etiquette to sign a post. Just shows my age I suppose. When I compose a Business letter, my name is at the top and the bottom... 

Ah, don't sweat it, it's just redundant here.

I have a question about sync and I am just too stupid to figure it out. I sync from XP using a local file profile with my Z connected via USB in "Storage" mode. The box for addressbook file used by Ka/pi is checked. When I sync in Ko/pi, only mycalendar.ics is updated but not std.vcf, even if I have both calender and addressbook checked in the multiple sync options of the profile configuration. I also tried Synchornize | Multiple sync and I got the same result. The only way that I can update both file is to do the sync in Ka/pi and Ko/pi separately.

I was expecting that the sync will update both files when it is done in either ko/pi or ka/pi. Did I get this wrong? Thanks.

I ran into a couple of problems when trying to compile the latest CVS (as of 2006-01-09) for desktop use. I am running Ubuntu 5.10 (Breezy), which uses gcc version 4.0.2 20050808.

They are both very simple issues, and I was able to easily correct them myself. I have included diffs of the changes below (made using 'diff -rup oldfile newfile').

First, a template error:

Second, Ubuntu's Qt lib doesn't include styles; I personally don't think it's necessary, anyways, as the program looks and runs fine without it.

One other thing... I have found that gcc/g++ 4.0 is much more strict than earlier versions. While compiling kdepim, it spat out multiple warnings about base classes that have virtual methods but non-virtual destructors. While this might not currently be a problem, it could lead to memory leaks if any subclasses use dynamic allocation, and so it might be worth fixing.

I may have found a bug (was using 2.2.3, but moved up to 2.2.7 and still happens) or I may have a dodgy phone.

In KA/Pi, when I elect to Beam Selected contact to my phone there's no problem, ie the "Sending..." thing happens on the Zaurus and my phone asks, "Receive Contact Blah, Blah?"

In KO/Pi when I tap and hold an appointment and select beam, the Zaurus says it's sending the data (and completes) but there's no response at the phone.

Just to check, the phone receives any kind of beamed document/data from the Documents or Files tab without problem

Just in case it's a localised phone problem it's one of those HTC Jam Phones.

Any chance of removing the restriction to no ore than 150 calendar entries when importing from Outlook?

If you get more than 150, ko crashes when it goes to save the file.

Thanks.

kopi: error while loading shared libraries: kopi: undefined symbol: __9KListViewP7QWidgetPCcb


how can i solve it?

[raybert]

You need to install kmicrokdelibs as well.

Installed it already and lib are available, OPMail is okay....maybe I remove and install it again to have a try

Hmm... I don't what's going on then. Which ROM are you running?

Re reinstall: If you didn't get any errors when you installed it that probably won't make any difference. But it doesn't hurt to try.

I am using KO/pi and I have found that my events become read-only after I exit and re-open KO/pi. Is this normal? I would like to be able to modify the details of an event after the fact; is there an easy way to do that?

Thanks!

Hello everyone, I am new to Linux and have some potentially dumb questions. I have a C750, and I just installed the latest Cracko ROM I could find. Will this work on my device?? Also, does this replace the PIM included in Cracko's ROM, or does it install it in addition, so I have different PIM apps I need to choose? Thanks for your help.

I think I found a bug; when exporting my contacts to a container vcf file (1 vcf file containing multiple adresses) on my computer, and try to import them in KA/Pi it freezes the zaurus, I'm running 2.2.7...
